We began working with Allen Anderson in 1998. We needed a significant shift in concepts, models and techniques in how we organized and implemented our province wide employment program for disadvantaged youth. Allen provided us with a system that transformed how we do business and brought us to be one of the most successful employment programs in Ontario. With Allen’s ideas and training we have a system that places over 150,000 people a year through a third party delivery system working with those at the greatest risk of continued and long-term unemployment such as new immigrants, persons with disabilities and those with multiple employment barriers. At the same time, we were able to adapt the services to be effective with internationally trained professionals and persons wanting to access apprenticeship training ad employment. Without these concepts, skills and techniques our progress to excellence would have been much slower than the pace at which we work today.
